ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Have you ever felt exhausted, overwhelmed, irritable, or emotionally drained—but assumed it was just stress, a busy season, or simply part of life?
In this episode of Shrinks on Tap, Dr. Lauren Fisher and Dr. Eleni Boosalis explore the often-overlooked signs of burnout and why so many people experience it without realizing what's really happening.
Burnout doesn't always show up as complete exhaustion. Sometimes it looks like feeling disconnected from the things you once enjoyed, struggling to focus, becoming increasingly irritable, feeling emotionally numb, or carrying the constant weight of everyone else's needs and expectations.
Lauren and Eleni discuss:
• What burnout actually is and how it develops
• The difference between stress and burnout
• Why women are especially vulnerable to burnout
• Common warning signs people tend to dismiss
• How burnout impacts relationships, work, and emotional well-being
• Practical strategies for recognizing and addressing burnout before it becomes overwhelming
If you've ever wondered whether you're simply stressed—or if something deeper may be going on—this conversation offers insight, validation, and actionable tools for moving forward.
